husband died several years ago, leaving
a large amount OF property. Her
daughter refused TO accept any property
while her mother was alive. The
daughter, Julia V. Crandell, WAS 81
wears old. 1t is said that Crandell rep
resented himself TO be worth 100000,
and finally married Mrs. Bulkely. Their
married life had been unhappy. The
family, except Mrs. Ellis, were eating
breakfast when Crandell began shoot

ously among the others at Mrs. Stone.
Mrs. Stone ran out OF doors In the snow,
some rods from the house. He went 10
the door and shot at her. She fell eX-
hausted in the snow and died soon after
with bullet in her breast. Crandell
then turned about, loaded his revolver,
aud at short range, fired at his step
daughter Julia. The shot took effect in
the abdomen. 1t was fired SO close that
,, the white apron she wore was burned BY
the powder. Mrs. Crandall received two
wounds in the groin. Crandell then ran
from the room and was not seen again
until his dead body was found in the Gu
pola OF the house. Mrs. Ellis at once
raised the alarm and people soon came
flocking to the scene. 1t was too lato TO
| be of any assistance. Officers wcro
placed in charge OF the house and no one
outside was admitted. The coroner was
notified. When the reporter left the
house Mrs. Crandell was very low and
! - sttempts TO probe her wounds had
| been made. A later report is that Mrs.
| Grandell died about 10 o'clock.
